Beware old men who are in a young man's profession. He has been a man who has fought for France nearly his entire life.

He made his men fight at Valmy when it was impossible, and while Auclair saved the day… he got them that chance.

He has never been one to neglect his own finances. Though many would claim he drinks wine far too expensive for his paycheck to afford.
Intelligence: 15
A Wise old man… anachronistic title perhaps… but a true one nonetheless.
Education: 20
He is a man who has learned much in his long life. Through many failings and triumphs.

SKILLS
Combat: 11
A Lifetime of fighting has made you a man who can die well… and survive.
Oratory: 11
You are just a man among giants.
Command: 19
If given the chance, you will command the men under you well, though, with a little difficulty.
Cavalry Command: 15
You were a cavalier in Poland, and no one doubted your work in the Americas.
Infantry Command: 15
An infantry officer, though one that was never well, but he learned enough in a long career.
Artillery Command: 14
The Cannoniers know this man as one of their own.
Grand Strategy: 12
Your Grasp at greater strategy is lesser than your former comrades, now dead.
Engineering: 11
You are not an engineer by trade and what little you know, it is from reading and sieges.
Logistics: 13
He is capable, if unremarkable logistician, as he has always been where the action is.
Manual Labor: 6
You are an old man and do not wish to strain your body any more than you already do in combat.
Law: 18
You Believe that as a man your age, you should retire, and put your efforts into protecting France and Her People.
Administration: 18
You are old and relegated to more training, administrative, and nurturing the new generation of Staff officers… at least before your imprisonment.
Traits
The Old Man of the Army: After Valmy Hill, you were relegated to more… administrative Roles within the army's command structure, and when the war of the Coalition ended, you were sent to be an administrator. Your Age, Experience, and wisdom were seen as a thing that many in the army needed, and while you did not like being relegated to Staff work, you found it as a way to train the next generation in Staff Work, and make them gain a better understanding and appreciation of what really goes into making an Army Function.
-You are not seen as necessary for a field command in the French Army currently and are given a great deal of leeway in your training of the new Staff of Officers under your command.
-Many young officers write and subordinate themselves to you, to learn from you, and your wisdom.
-+20 to all rolls training younger officers and subordinates, in all facets of Military subjects.
- +5 to all battle rolls in addition to any bonuses from stats.
Favored: Your Actions in Paris to Protect the Emperor's sister and his niece have not gone unnoticed by the Emperor, and the people of the Empire.
-Gain Influence with Napoleon.
-Can make requests both in military and political nature
-Unknown Effect
Half Hand: Your efforts to protect Elissa and her daughter were not without a price. Your left hand lost two fingers, and you suffered other minor ailments from imprisonment that you will need time to recover from.
-You are permanently maimed on your left hand.
- -5 to combat rolls.
Old Ways: You were a soldier of the Old School of the French Army, and are a bit behind when it comes to some of the more aggressive, and forward-thinking tactics and strategies that have been developed, fostered, and nurtured by this new Army. You are not behind in a traditional sense, but your thinking is… a liability in some situations.
-You are slower to pick up on the young generations' thinking.
-You are… not the best field commander, even with your experiences.
-10 to battle rolls unless you get a crash course in the new Ways.
The Grandfather figure: Kellerman views the Empress as an adoptive granddaughter, though that was when she was under his command in the Army of the North. And while his family is somewhat confused by that, they accept the fact and hope to welcome you with open arms.
-Kellerman views your family as part of his family.
-Unknown Effect.
Opinion: Mentor Figure. He Views you as the Granddaughter he does not have.
